:: On-Chip ESD Protection Designs for RF ICs ::

by Prof. Albert Wang, Director Laboratory Integrated Circuits and Systems, University of California – Riverside, CA, USA

// Place:

Instituto Superior Técnico, Avenida Rovisco Pais, Torre Norte, Meeting Room LT2, 4th floor

 

// Abstract:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) failure is the most devastating IC reliability problem. As semiconductor technologies continue to advance to nano nodes, meanwhile ICs become more complex, on-chip ESD protection design emerges as a major IC design challenge, particularly for broad-band RF and high-speed ICs. This lecture discusses advanced on-chip ESD protection design techniques for RF ICs, including mixed-mode ESD simulation-design methods, accurate RF ESD characterization and ESD-IC co-design for RF ICs. Real-world ESD protection design examples, such UWB transceivers and 4G/5G RF switches, will be presented.

 

// Biography:

Albert Wang received the BSEE degree from Tsinghua University, China, and the PhD EE degree from State University of New York at Buffalo, USA, in 1985 and 1996, respectively. From 1995 to 1998, he was an IC design engineer at National Semiconductor Corporation, USA. From 1998 to 2007, He was a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA. Since 2007, He has been a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Riverside, USA, where he is Director for the Laboratory for Integrated Circuits and Systems and Director for the University of California system-wide Center for Ubiquitous Communications by Light. His research covers Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF ICs, Integrated Design-for-Reliability, 3D Heterogeneous Integration, IC CAD and Modelling, Biomedical Electronics, Emerging Nano Devices and Circuits, and LED-based Visible Light Communications. Wang received the CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation, USA. He published one book and more than 250 papers, and holds 15 US patents. Wang served on editorial boards for IEEE Electron Device Letters, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II, IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, and IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. He has been an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE Electron Devices Society, IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society and IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. He is Sr. Past President (2018-2019), and was Jr. Past President (2016-2017) and President (2014-2015) of IEEE Electron Devices Society. He was Chair of the IEEE CAS Analog Signal Processing Technical Committee (ASPTC) and committee member for the SIA International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductor (ITRS). He is a member of IEEE 5G Initiative Committee and IEEE Fellow Committee. He was General Chair (2016) and TPC Chair (2015) for IEEE RFIC Symposium. He served as committee member for many IEEE conferences, including IEDM, EDTM, BCTM, ASICON, IEDST, ICSICT, CICC, RFIC, APC-CAS, ASP-DAC, ISCAS, IPFA, ICEMAC, NewCAS, ISTC, IRPS, AP-RASC, MAPE, EDSSC, MIEL, etc. Wang is an IEEE Fellow and AAAS Fellow.
